Chapter 31 Obtained Without Any Effort
Su Jin didn't think too much about it, and he didn't get off the ship immediately, intending to give Shen Ruying and her daughter some time to get dressed.
In fact, Shen Ruying was unconscious for only a short time, less than an hour in total.
During this time, he had to settle Shen Ruying in, help Shen Qiaoqiao who didn't know how to start a fire, and build a stone campfire for her.
He even personally demonstrated to the little girl how to dry clothes over a fire, even though she didn't know how.
Then he had to come back, take off all his clothes and wash them, and wash off the bloodstains on his body.
He then used his clothes to wipe the dirt and blood off Shen Ruying's body, and finally helped her apply medicine. He was working non-stop.
He hasn't rested for a day and a night, and after a battle, he's quite exhausted.
Even if he had a body that surpassed that of a human, doing this would still be somewhat unbearable.
Su Jin leaned against the cabin wall, recalling the dashing scene of his killing the White Wolf King.
He never expected that he could kill the beast so easily.
In his opinion, this guy should be a mutant and have some strength.
But in reality, he charged straight at the guy, who immediately tried to escape. In terms of reaction speed, he was actually a little faster than the White Wolf King.
Upon reflection, it must be that the effects of the royal jelly were still present, significantly boosting his energy, which led to increased reaction speed, clearer thinking, and faster action.
That immense power, a single whip kick, would be too much for even him to handle.
That kick probably broke most of the White Wolf King's ribs. Even if he didn't finish him off, the guy would have died from internal bleeding.
As for the other wolf cubs, needless to say, with their leader dead, they were just a disorganized mess.
Unable to fight or outrun, only one or two lucky ones managed to escape too far for Su Jin to chase, and thus escaped to safety.
After this incident, the wolves inside the grassland island will probably not be able to cause any trouble.
He also asked Shen Qiaoqiao how Shen Ruying and her daughter had gotten involved with this group, and the answer he received was...
They're getting a bit too wild.
For some unknown reason, the mother and daughter were looking for flax, which turned out to be the same thing he wanted.
So, while they were catching rabbits and herding cattle and sheep, they unknowingly wandered deeper into the grassland island.
As they approached the hills, they discovered a field of flax.
This flax field is located on a hill, quite close to the depths of the island.
At that time, Shen Qiaoqiao was still a child at heart. She excitedly shouted and ran towards the flax field.
Shen Ruying was probably a little tired at that time, and she was also pleasantly surprised to find flax, so she didn't stop her daughter and went with her instead.
But the moment the two entered the flax field, several gray prairie wolves suddenly appeared from the pile of rocks next to them and surrounded them.
As more and more wolves appeared, Shen Ruying led her daughter and ran backwards, eventually ending up in the situation Su Jin saw when he returned.
Fortunately, he returned in time; otherwise, the mother and daughter would probably have been eaten to the bone.
So while Shen Ruying was in a coma, Su Jin took on the role of an adult and gave the little girl a good talking-to.
Although Shen Qiaoqiao admitted her mistake and looked guilty, she kept quiet and did not explain why.
Looking back now, it seems the little girl was hiding something from him...
"Forget it, what's the point of guessing what a little girl is thinking?"
Su Jin was too lazy to think about it anymore, and then smiled as he looked at the thing in his hand.
This is the flax he got from Shen Qiaoqiao; it's the material he needs to upgrade his level 4 sailboat and make sails.
He was originally planning to go look for it, but now it's all come to him effortlessly!
Thinking back, he realized that he had been too harsh on the little girl before, and that he had just killed a wolf and was still carrying a murderous aura, which must have frightened her a bit.
Although Shen Qiaoqiao was a bit mischievous this time, she still deserves credit.
I'll make something nice for the little girl later, like frying two small fish for her to try, to appease her a little.
Feeling that it was about time, Su Jin stood up, picked up a star-studded seashell containing small fish, and got off the boat.
At this point, both mother and daughter were already dressed.
When Shen Ruying saw Su Jin approaching, she quickly pulled her daughter to him, bowed, and thanked him.
"Thank you so much, Brother Su, for saving my daughter and me again. Qiaoqiao and I are extremely grateful."
Shen Qiaoqiao followed her mother's example and bent down, but she was a little afraid to look at Su Jin.
Su Jin didn't pay much attention and just waved his hand, saying:
"It's only right. I've already said that you are my help, and it's my responsibility as the captain to protect you crew members."
As he spoke, he opened the star-studded seashell in his hand, revealing it filled with tiny silver-scaled fish.
Shen Ruying, possessing a natural talent for marine knowledge, clearly recognized what kind of fish it was and exclaimed in surprise:
"Huh, it's a Moonflower Fish."
Su Jin raised an eyebrow and asked:
"What? Is there anything special about this fish?"
Shen Ruying chuckled and shook her head, explaining:
"Nothing special, just a common Tier 1 sea creature. Oh, I just upgraded my encyclopedia and unlocked more... Let's talk about this first."
She gently picked up a small, silvery fish and let the sunlight fall on its body, making the fish appear translucent.
"See that? This fish has no bones and few scales, so its most distinctive feature is... deliciousness!"
"Whether you fry it, steam it, or make it into fish soup, it tastes delicious."
"Oh, right, there should be some moonflower shells growing nearby, those are quite delicious too."
Su Jin vaguely remembered the Moonbeam Shells she mentioned; they must be those glowing shells.
Unfortunately, he thought there were already enough star-studded seashells on the ship, so he didn't continue collecting seashells.
If he knew this stuff was delicious, he would definitely bring some back to try.
As a wilderness survival enthusiast, he usually eats mostly wild game, so he enjoys eating all kinds of things.
Thinking about this, he couldn't help but feel a little regretful.
But it's okay, at least there's still fish. It's just a pity that Li Yuanyuan isn't here, otherwise it might have tasted even better.
Feeling a bit hungry, Su Jin was about to start grilling the fish when Shen Ruying tugged at his sleeve and said:
"Brother Su, didn't I just say there was something I wanted to tell you?"
Su Jin paused for a moment, then chuckled and said:
"As for finding flax, there's no need to mention it; Qiaoqiao has already told me."
The young woman shook her head and pulled Shen Qiaoqiao in front of her.
"It's about Qiaoqiao. That girl had been avoiding you before, but she secretly told me about it last night."
Su Jin smiled and waved his hand.
"Forget it, it's normal for a young girl to have some secrets."
But Shen Ruying shook her head again, and said seriously:
"Brother Su, this matter is very important. Qiaoqiao... has also awakened her talent."
